Note the following information about DHCP administration in this release:
The ISC DHCP server software is available for installation in this release. You can add the server package to your system as follows:
# pkg install pkg:/service/network/dhcp/isc-dhcp
For more information about administering ISC DHCP, including configuring the ISC DHCP server administering the ISC DHCP service, see Chapter 2, Administering the ISC DHCP Service, in Working With DHCP in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
The legacy Sun DHCP server software is still part of the Oracle Solaris release, but the feature has been marked as obsolete. See Legacy Sun DHCP Server in Working With DHCP in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
The term DHCP client refers to a software entity. The DHCP client is a daemon (dhcpagent) that runs on systems that are configured to request their network configuration from the DHCP service. Both the legacy Sun DHCP server and the ISC DHCP server work with the DHCP client. See Chapter 3, Configuring and Administering the DHCP Client, in Working With DHCP in Oracle Solaris 11.2 for details.
